"Failing to prepare is preparing to fail" John Wooden- Rest in Peace -
So I was goofing around with the sailboat last night. I was nervous about PO's claims to have run antifreeze through the A4 motor prior to last haulout. Last night, on a whim, I decided to carefuly crank the motor, with a helper first checking to make sure the prop shaft would not spin in a dry cutlass bearing during cranking. Upon satisfaction that I was not going to score the bearing, I cranked some more and with the choke on the motor quickly fired and quickly settled to a nice idle! I thought I was going to need to perform lots of work on th motor to get it running safely and reliably again, but that appears not to be the case. She spit out "some" green tinted water, likely mixed nasty green antifreeze, so at least the PO was partially correct in his statement. Tonight I am going to take 2 gallons of pink RV antifreeze home and suck them through the motor. Then the spark plugs come out and some Marvel is going in the cylinders. I may go ahead and change the oil, although it will be a bit slow, as I cannot run the engine long enough to warm the oil up.
Come commissioning time, I will be installing a fresh impeller, and probably a new thermostat, just in case.
I am real pleased to have heard such a smooth running motor!It's not an optical illusion.
It just looks like one.....Comment
